China vs Philippines friendly game on June 7

Well, sadly the friendly game against China would take place in Guangzhou.

Nevertheless, this will surely be an interesting match up between the two countries. The Philippines and China are at odds at each other because of territory dispute. China is currently occupying several islands belonging to the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.

China crushed the Philippines 8-0 in their last meeting in an AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers in 2000.

China is the more experienced team, they’ve been in the World Cup once in 2002. They just defeated Asian powerhouses South Korea and Iraq last March. They have never fall below 100 in the FIFA ranking. While the Philippines still has not joined the top 100.
